Saw this about a new Green Lantern movie, featuring Hal Jordan.
I've got to say I'm surprised. I'd kind of assumed that--despite perceived Superfriends associations--John Stewart would have been the logical GL to make it to the big screen. He's the most well-known among the younger crowd, because of the more recent Justice League cartoon. My daughters are quite fond of John, particularly the fourteen-year-old. They don't much care about Hal.
I imagine it has to do with the origin, though. The non-Hal Lanterns do sort of depend on their having been a Hal--they were backups or replacements or whatever. Their origins include his.
So, for a first Green Lantern movie, I suppose Hal makes sense.
Time comes for a sequel, though, I expect to see John!
